The Connecticut teen who professed her love for Aaron Rodgers as she was coming out of the fog of anesthesia got her wish. Well, at least one of them.

Callie Kessler shared a video on Twitter last week that showed her eating ice pops, crying and groggily talking about the Green Bay Packers quarterback from a hospital bed.

“... Aaron Rodgers is the man. He always will be, and I love him. I want Aaron Rodgers to come and then my throat wouldn’t hurt. ... Aaron Rodgers, he would buy me 400 Popsicles,” she says.

The video went viral and found its way to Rodgers’ girlfriend Danica Patrick, who responded Friday via Twitter asking the girl for her address so she and Rodgers could send her 400 ice pops.

They also break it down by player and by penalty type if you hit the link.
False start was number 1 with 23 of em. Offensive PI had 7, which is 2.3X the league average

"The Green Bay Packers committed 110 penalties accepted by the opposition during the 2019 season. Matt LaFleur’s team had 50 penalties at home and 60 away, and the 110 penalties added up to 850 total yards.

Counting the 19 declined and five offsetting penalties called against the Packers, the offense committed 72 total penalties, while the defense had 42 and the special teams finished with 20.

Left tackle David Bakhtiari led the way with 12 accepted penalties, while quarterback Aaron Rodgers and guard Elgton Jenkins both had 10 penalties. Bakhtiari had six holding penalties and five false starts, leading the Packers in both categories. Rodgers was credited with eight of the team’s 10 delay of game penalties."

The OPI number would go down a lot if we didn't call 4 plays a game where we ask one of our receivers to commit OPI as part of the play design.

That's on the coaching staff; maybe why the wr coach is now gone.   Little better teaching/coaching on the proper way to run the play would help.  Every team in the league has the same type of play scheme … they just run it the correct way.

The play calls for OPI. That isn't on the WR coach, it's on the head coach who put the playbook together. It's also on the QB who needs to release immediately instead of holding the ball until the blocking is occurring before releasing.

Disagree.  Teach it the right way to do like all the other teams in the NFL doing the exact same thing.  The WR position didn't do squat this year …  the players failed to improve, the wr coach didn't help them improve and head coach having a system that's in it's first year are all to blame.

Okay that's all wonderful. But when you call a play where the slot receiver runs a bubble screen and the perimeter receiver comes in on a slant to block the slot corner, and the ball doesn't get to the slot receiver before the block happens, that isn't the perimeter receivers fault or the WR coaches fault. 

It's either on the HC for calling a play with a feasible outcome of OPI, or not having his perimeter receiver split out wide enough, or on the QB for double clutching and staring at the perimeter CB rather than throwing in the rhythm of the offense. 

You don't blame the perimeter receiver or the coach for the guy blocking when the play calls for him to block.

Disagree for above mentioned.
